Recently we’ve been working on a logo for an Indonesian restaurant chain. Bon Chef is a family restaurant, where people come to enjoy home-style food in a cozy atmosphere. To convey that feeling, we decided to go with a heart-warming hand lettered logo.

After ruining a stack of paper, I jumped into illustrator and placed those bezier points in the right spots.

Below are the initial logo sketches I made in search of the right treatment.

Here are some work in progress shots of an app I’m making for Vasily Strelnikov – the father of Russian podcasting. Knowing his obsession with an old-school radio, I was aiming for a very vintage, yet warm and comforting look.

A tiny illustration I made over a lazy Saturday afternoon, probably slightly missing that chilly Russian winter, especially after spending a whole year here, in Singapore. Can you imagine if Merlion was standing in the middle of Red Square? Easy. This art print was inspired by the work of Aaron Draplin.

I’ve been waiting for almost 2 years to see this movie. The release date is finally here and it’s 17 February. Mark your calendars. “Making It” is a Documentary about the daily struggles of making a living, staying creative, and making it all up as we go along. In one word, the stuff they don’t teach at school.

The second print from the series goes to the iconic DeLorean and BTTF3. Still experimenting with this style, but already liking the results I can get simply by adding a little bit of rough texture to the silky smooth vector.

Here are the initial logos we created for AIG (American International Group Inc.). Both logos were meant to be for Dragonshield – a division of AIG, selling insurance specifically to Asian-based companies. Our task was to make a Dragonshield logo as well as an IPO Boost logo.
